The Cucumber Industry.

At fredericksburg, Virginia, q
place made famous by great bat.
tie during the civil war, O pickle
factory has been started. One OF
the specialties produced by il is
picked oucumbers. The cucum.
bers are grown on the poor and
worn.out lands Of that section and
the ground must be heavily ma.
nured. The cultivation of these
vegetables appears to be a trivial
affair, but 1t has grown to be an
important industry. The Rich.
mond Wing gives the following
important particulars OF 1t: This
season the supply has reached
3O,000,O00 cucumbers, those enga.
ged in their production furnishing
from 100000 to 100000 each. An
acre will produce 100, 900, and they
sell in fredericksburg at 80 cents
per 1000. The object is to get
them an inch or an inch and O half
long, and this requires active pick.
ing before they increase this size.
A boy will pick 5000 In a day.
Picking them thus early increases
the productiveness of the vine,
and while the season lasts others
are appearing In place of those
taken from the vines.

A Tom Cod as a Motive Power.
Portland Argus.l

A young man had been out in
the forenoon and had caught an
enormous cod, weighing probably
thirty pounds, which he had placed
in q large hogshead and so kept
alive. When the party went into
the water the young man harness
ed up the cod with stout twine
and placed him in the water. He
had a great deal of sport, and f.
nally, after considerable persua.
sion, allowed a Young lady to try
his sea horse. A life-preseryer
was procured and fastened on her
aud she grasped the reiDs holding
the large cod. All was soon put
in readiness. and the fish, without
the least persuasion, started on o
gait that would have made loco.
motive turn green with envy.
When she had gone out far enough
aud thought 1t time to return, she
endeavored to regulate the steed's
course, but alas, to no avail. After
some speculation she rapidly came
to the conclusion that it would be
much better to drop the reins and
lose the cod than to get lost her.
self. In attempting to drop the
line 1t caught in one of the lower
buttons Of her dress. and in en-.
deavoring to unfasten it. II became
tangled about her legs. Mean.
while the cod was rushing wildly
out to sea. This state of affairs
continued for nearly fifteen min.
ntes, until some one recognized
her danger and started in her
wake with q sailboat. The exhaus-
ted cod soon became tired of his
race and concluded to stop ior
breath, and the terribly frightened
lady was rescued, and tainted in
the boat. Restoratives were up.
Piled and she was soon able to tell
the story Of her adventure. God
riding is not destined to become
popular at Fort Popham.

The Primary System IN IlInds.

In Kinds county there has just
been a test of the departure from
the ole style delegate system, in
which 1t seems that the evidence
ofits utility is conflicting. The fol.
lowing from its proceedings pro.
nounces squarely against the new
order:
"Mr. H. @. Sharkey introduced
the following:
Resolved, That the primary cleo.
tion as held In this county is to be
condemned, LIST, because IL is too
tedious to arrive at the result, End,
the principal object for which 1t
was inaugurated-that is to pre-.
vent trading of votes-is not pre-.
vented but only transferred to each
precinct where 1t is carried on to
q greater extent than was possible
under the delegated convention
system.
Mr.. Ben. II. Wells offered the
following as a substitute;
Resolved, That it is the sense
ofthis Convention that the method
under which we are now working,
as recommended by the Executive
Committee, is q departure from
Democratic principles as hereto.
fore recognized by the party, and
we hereby give that method our
hearty disapproval.
The substitute was laid on the
table.
A motion to lay the original re.
solution on the table was lost by
vote of II to So.
Mr.. Sharkey here stated that
having gotten an expression of the
Convention he would withdraw the
resolution. He was allowed to
do So"
Per contra the State Ledger
says:
We publish, in the proceedings
of the Kinds county convention,
both the delegate and popular
vote received by each candidate.
It will be seen that no candidate
receiving the popular vote was de.
feated. The result does much to
confirm the wisdom of the plan.
Now that 1t is understood, the
primary pro.rate plan will become
more populrr than ever. While
we never object to the convention
system to nominate candidates, we
do not feel called upon to condemn
the primary system, which allows
the people to vote direct for the
candidates of their choice. 1t Ger.
tainly destroys all chances for
trades and scheming, so well un.
derstood by the average politician.
A straight-out primary election
might give better satisfaction than
either plan suggested. II IS by
far the simpler method ofthe three.
If another primary election is
held in Kinds county, the Demo
cratic Executive Committee should
issue positive rules for the gov.
ernment OF the election.

the Institute, which he had filed
since the death Of Professor 10.

With the conclusion Of Gov.
Lowry's speech. Capt. Walker re.
cognized Capt. Thos. II. Woods,
who had stepped forward and an.
nounced that he had been instruct.
ed by the committee of gentlemen
having the matter in hand, to offer
o set of resolutions which they
had prepared. After the reading
Captain Woods moved that they
be adopted by rising vote, which
was carried without opposition.
The resolutions as adopted were
as follows:
Resolved by the people Of Me-
ridian and Of Lauderdale county,
In public meeting assembled, That
we hail the appearance of the Hon.
Robert Lowry, Governor of the
Commonwealth of Mississippi, In
our midst with unfeigned pleasure,
and we give him cordial thanks
for the manly and straightforward
vindicatlon of Democratic rule in
this State, contained in his address
delivered before us this evening.
2. We now again, as always
heretofore, declare our unqualified
admiration for the man, Robert
Lowry--the soldier, patriot and
trusted chief of the people of his
State-and we declare our una.
bated confidence In the integrity.
the fidelity and the capacity Of our
chief executive.
8. We unqualifedly endorse
the administration Of our State
government OF the present chosen
agents of the Democratic party,
and we utterly reject and repudi.
ate the charges alleging incapacity
and malfeasance made against the
administration headed by Cover
nor Lowry. The Democracy of
Lauderdale county declines to
join In or lend encouragement to
the assaults now being made on
the present Democratic admins.
tration, and through it on the Dem.
ocratic party Of the State which
created and upholds that admins
tration, and likewise on the fair
fame and good name Of the State
itself. We deny that lawlessness
aud crime and official miscondu uct
are rampant throughout the State ;
on the contrary, we affirm that
law Is everywhere supreme in our
borders, and that the guarantees
Of personal security were never
greater in any American State
thau they are now In Mississippi.
